From the garage to the club to the stadium, the left-handed American Standard Telecaster is the same great best-selling go-to guitar it always has been, and now it's upgraded with a comfortable new body contour and classic-sounding Fender Custom Shop Twisted Tele (neck) and Broadcaster (bridge) pickups. The latest incarnation of a truly timeless classic, it rings more fully, brightly and crisply than ever.

The look, sound and vibe of the Telecaster resonates throughout the history of popular music. From orchestra pits to mosh pits, small clubs to stadiums and garages to recording studios, its signature sound is everywhere. The American Standard Telecaster Left-Handed Electric Guitar with Maple Fingerboard has hand-rolled fingerboard edges, Custom Shop pickups, staggered tuning machines, improved bridge with bent steel saddles mounted to a stamped-brass bridge plate for increased resonance and sustain, tinted neck, high-gloss maple fingerboard, satin-finished neck back, thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance, and Fender Tolex case.

The neck feels incredible, very nice polish on it. The saddles are changed to more of a vintage style so they a little rough to your hand but you get use to it quick. The new contoured back was long overdue.

The craftsmanship on this guitar is superb. Factory set-up was very good, I put on 10-46 gauge strings and made minor intonation adjustments. Action was perfect. This guitar sounds clear and clean, stays in tune, and the neck is like butter. Very low-noise pickups. I love the new contour on the back. This guitar is true Fender all the way.

Lots of nice upgrades. Very comfortable neck, plays like butter, and the pickups sound great. Great vintage tone without all the 60 cycle hum. The belly cut is a good idea; makes it a bit more comfortable and knocks off about a half pound of weight.
